Some students come to us already discouraged with negative baggage about their own potential, school in general, or the subjects we teach. How can we change that negativity to motivation? The keys are to connect with their curiosity, help them recognize incremental progress to appropriately achievable individualized challenge, and using other neurological strategies to reverse negativity and sustain a positive attitude by increasing interest, relevance, confidence, foundational knowledge, and active participation in a climate where students are not stressed by the fear of mistakes.
